Fry's Fast Five - 11th April (Ep. 99)

An episode of SportsbyFry

My name is Fry, I'm going bald at the age of 26 and I love sports. From as early as I can remember sport has been a major part of my life and a few years ago I decided to create my own blog SportsbyFry, adding my own unique twist to the trending topics in sport. As my site continues to grow I've now launched my own podcast covering a lot of fantasy sports plus AFL, NBA and NFL topics. Hopefully, I can continue to grow my audience and fan base, providing you with a can't miss sports podcast!

Williams is hurt, Danger's out and cash cows like Hayes, Atley, Constable and Garner were dropped (don't even get me started on Matt Crouch/Stephen Coniglio)! There's plenty to talk about after a testing night at the selection table for AFL Fantasy coaches...
✌️

Late, but worth the wait. On a belated Monday Sitdown this week, J-Lo and I discuss a potential Bucks-Warriors finals matchup, Lachie Whitfield's day out and go around the ground for our AFL Fantasy teams in Round 9.
✌️

We finally got some 'fresh meat' but it wasn't the players we were expecting. Coupled with popular names being ruled out and/or surrounded by doubt there are plenty of matters to discuss after Round 9 team selection with some added Q&A to finish off the episode!
✌️

The return of Fry's Fast Five takes a look at the top-5 NFL rookies from a fantasy perspective as mini camps kick into full gear
✌️
Check out all the relevant NFL Fantasy rooks here: https://sportsbyfry.com/2019/05/11/nfl-fantasy-who-are-the-relevant-fantasy-rookies-from-the-class-of-2019/

Patrick Dangerfield and Lachie Whitfield are the two main talking points, but Round 8 team selection gave us plenty to ponder before lockout. Here my takes on a few hot topics, plus the answers to your Twitter/Instagram questions!
✌️

Round 7 was NOT kind to the AFL Fantasy community. From Thursday night team announcements right up until the end of the weekend, fans around the globe were trying to spread duct tape over the holes in their teams with some coaches were more successful than others
✌️

How do we handle the Lachie Whitfield dilema? Should you pick Noah Answerth or Isaac Cumming? And what the HELL do we do with Charlie Constable? All that and more is covered in the new SBF AFL Fantasy chat after the Round 7 teams were announced
✌️

A little bit later than usual the Round 5 Wrap Up is live covering new dual-position players (DPPs), two more partial lockouts and a handful of fresh cash cows as coaches face a quick turn around this week!
✌️

For the first time in a long time, J-Lo is back on the podcast! We break down potential NBA Playoff matchups, pick our All-NBA sides and then dive into a little bit of AFL Fantasy talk, including our trade thinking for Round 2
✌️
West Playoffs: 3:58
East Playoffs: 20:11
All-NBA: 34:57
AFL Fantasy trades: 51:05

The Large Fry's & Coke didn't set the world on fire in Round 1, but the AFL Fantasy season is a marathon not a sprint. After a points fueled first weekend here's the first round wrap-up of the 2019 season!

On the eve of a new AFL Fantasy season it's time for some Q&A! Tom Liberatore, Noah Balta, Tom Rockliff, James Worpel, Dom Sheed and more are discussed as we prepare for the first fantasy lockout of 2019.
Good luck for the season ahead!
✌️

The AFL season is only a few sleeps away! I’m not doing a mega season preview, but I want to go on record for some of my award picks and who I think will take out the flag, with the quick addition of my NCAA Tournament predictions. Be sure to hit me up with any AFL Fantasy questions you have before I record tomorrow’s podcast as well ✌️

My AFL Fantasy team is nearly ready for Round 1 and so are my rookie selections! Working through the defense (2:28), midfield (7:55), ruck (12:10) and forward (14:02) lines here's my thinking behind some of the cash cow picks along with a reveal of the Large Fry's & Coke 4.0 (20:25). ✌️

Anthony Davis has gone public with his trade request, so I break down the chances of him heading to L.A. before the deadline (1:30) and discuss some neglected AFL Fantasy players for your pre-season watchlist (14:30). Finally, I unveil the January edition of the Large Fry's & Coke (22:18) with some interesting picks in my first AFL Fantasy side.

With the NBA trade deadline only three weeks away I sift through the rumour mill to find the 16 players who will impact trade moves ahead of deadline day on the 7th of Feb (apologies if the audio is slightly choppy/electronic)
✌️

I'm back! The first SBF pod of the year covers a bit of my DT Talk commitments (2:25) and explores the NBA Trade market (5:12)with potential Kevin Love moves, the Wizards and finding affordable help for Anthony Davis.
✌️

All the AFL (1:07), NFL (4:23) and NBA (11:20) fantasy information you need for a busy weekend plus I talk about a few potential first time NBA All-Stars (17:53) and give my two cents on the Kareem Hunt situation (22:43).
✌️

With Week 9 of NFL action in the books, I spend a few minutes recapping the major storylines with an update on my surging fantasy team. There's plenty of NBA news to talk about including the epic Celtics vs. Nuggets game last night and with college basketball back in our lives I touch on Duke's star freshman as well.
✌️

Once again after WAYYY too long the SBF podcast is back up and running. After quickly sharing my thoughts on Freo's offseason moves to date (1:24) I break down a bunch of NBA stuff including the new-look Raptors, Trae Young, Blake Griffin's 50-point outing, the Lakers-Rockets brawl and Denver's born-again defense (6:35), before touching on the NFL trade deadline and some must-watch games in Week 8 (16.49). I'm back!
✌️

With both prelims in the rear vision mirror, I touch on how West Coast and Collingwood became the last two standing before delving into some offseason AFL updates. Finally, I give out my Week 3 NFL picks and offer some last minute fantasy football advice ✌️

There is still an entire quarter of the season left, so don't think that you are out of the race for a second. J-Lo and I discuss our trade plans as well as the trending AFL Fantasy topics from this week.
✌️

A bit later than usual J-Lo break down another week in sport. We share our thoughts on more NBA Free Agency deals, discuss our AFL Fantasy teams and talk about all the trending topics from the World Cup to UFC 226 and everything else in between!
✌️

Despite being sleep deprived from watching a bunch of footy this weekend, J-Lo and I toughed it out to talk about Paul George staying put, Kawhi and LeBron teaming up in Philly, Tom Mitchell's fantasy eruption and Freo's tanking expedition.
✌️

It's official, I've reached rock bottom. With my AFL Fantasy team spiralling downwards, let me at least try to help you fix yours. There were some positives from a massive Round 5 and I'll address them along with some trade targets while looking at next weekend.
✌️

The standings are set so Jake and I need to project some NBA Draft picks (2:22). We also talked about our top ten in NBA (shoutout to Lil Dicky) and future MVP's (11:40) before checking in with Freo/West Coast with our Fantasy scores for Round 5 (18:32) and giving a few birthday wishes out (41:10).
✌️

Better late than never! On the eve of the playoffs last week I handed out my end of season grades to each team in the Western Conference.
✌️

✌️

With the NBA Playoffs tipping off today, Jake and I decided to do a sitdown on Saturday and preview the postseason. We spoke about each first-round series in depth, gave Russell Westbrook some love and made our picks for who will win the NBA Finals.
✌️

The Eagles (2:09) and Dockers (6:11) are 2-1! Of course, we need to check in with Jake's Nuggets (13:04) while addressing the 'Kyrie Irving injury' (22:31) and Conor McGregor (37:43) thing as well on another Sunday Sitdown.
✌️

Another round wrap-up sees me check in with my rabble of a team (1:34), give some praise in the form of +3's (6:11) and of course dish out -3's (8:08) then talk about potential trade moves (9:37) and what we can expect next weekend (12:13).
✌️

In my first Compare the Pair video, I settle the debate for who is better; Chris Bosh or Chris Webber? I break their basketball careers down into 5 categories (Postseason Success, Offense, Defense, Best Moment, Awards, Legacy/Impact) and then give my answer.
